Some exciting personal news to share this morning.

I'm joining 93.7 CJNU as Communications Coordinator! I'm thrilled to get the opportunity, and can't wait to get things really rolling.

Who knows, maybe you'll even catch my voice on the airwaves at some point too. Stay tuned.

Today felt like a turning point for the Toronto Blue Jays but in the worst way.

I had some thoughts on the deadline passing for the Jays to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to an extension, so I dropped it on my Substack.
